Yup. Even though the animation or the art work made Goku look awkward as fuck in Saiyan Armour.
I thought they could have kept that in Kai, provided they cut the part about the Acrosians (filler race) unless of course the whole Saiyan-Tuffle war was filler too, I forget.

I found that scene to be horrible filler. The very next episode Vegeta is standing right there by the tree and suggests to bring the souls of Krillin and Goku to Earth to be resurrected and Gohan offers him his hand to thank him, which Vegeta slaps away nonchalantly. They broke off from canon in ways even my 10 year old sister asked me wtf just happened.
Thank god I'm not the only one who hates that piece of filler. It made Vegeta look like a cowardly villain and VEGETA IS NOT A COWARD!!!! :evil:

Goku didn't die in GT. The show sucked him off so much, it was impossible to keep him in the world of the living, so he ascended beyond mortality.

I always side eye the people who say "Now my kids/today's kids can experience what I did as a child!" Nigga, who gives a fuck about your childhood? You're an adult now and it was at least 15 years ago. Let the kids have their own experience instead of picking at a corpse.

Depends on the filler, I liked the fillers which serve as character building ones. Gohan's training in the wilderness help authenticate his development, and accentuating how different he is from Goku.

Best filler, Goku and Piccolo driving, nuff said.

I loved the Ano-yo’ichi Budōkai arc so I was sad to see that go, but for understandable reasons, I just hope they don't actually get rid of all the Goku vs Majin Vegeta filler and retain all the Number 18 vs. Mr. Satan fight :cry:

"Never give in--never, never, never, never, in nothing great or small, large or petty, never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy." ~ Sir Winston Chruchill / Dragon Ball Z in a nutshell

How I enjoy the anime:
